The Color Psychology and Color Symbolisms In Our Daily Lives

Who would think that a person’s color preference is part of color psychology? Moreover, who amongst us are aware that psychologists have been using people’s color preferences to study human psychological state and behavior? In the 1940’s, Max Luscher invented the Luscher Color Test to determine a person’s stress level and psychological state based on his/her color preferences. In fact, the test was so well received that Mr. Luscher was hired by several international companies to give his color advice. The Luscher Test was also translated in over 30 languages worldwide. Up to today, industries hire color specialists to help them determine the color palette that will help them sell their products and services more.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.

To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.

Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
